      I try not to feel bad when I’m wrong. There is a whole trillion dollar set of apparatuses at work specifically evolved and designed to trick us into falling for it. I don’t judge for being wrong, but for refusing to admit it when it’s so clear it is sometimes flabbergasting. I’ve tried to see what they see to be fair to them, but they believe an election was stolen because somebody walked by a mailbox in Philly. I can’t understand that level of guillibility if someone is willing to admit they are wrong.

    Anything and everything to hurt Americans.

    Hey guys. If I described to you an entity that did nothing but harm average Americans, would you consider that entity to be an enemy of the United States of America?

    My Dad told me during a ride in his truck that he was voting for Trump again because he lowered prices for things in his first term and thought he’d do it again. Every bit of news I have seen of him since is shit that’s making Dads financial situation worse.

        I don’t really blame my Dad for it, he’s in a pretty bad spot money-wise. He has to support him, my stepmom, my sister, my two stepsisters PLUS the newborn twins one of them just had, my little brother, my cousin that lives with us, two dogs, a turtle, AND myself whenever I come over. We had so many people living with us at one point he had to set up some new walls and doors in what used to be my little brothers toy room to turn it into two separate bedrooms.

        He voted for Trump entirely because of his belief that if he became president again, we would be as financially stable as we were when he was first president. Back when we could afford going on a camping trip twice a year, back when our fridge was regularly stocked with ingredients to make our own lunches, back when he could afford to buy a whole 200$ game console for my birthday, ect. That hasn’t ended up happening and every time I get a glimpse at the news he’s not any closer to doing that. If my Dad was ever a “Trump supporter” I doubt he is now.

      What prices did he lower? I thought you guys were having a pandemic and that he was riding on Obama’s economy.

        I wouldn’t know cause I was 12 when he first got elected, too busy playing my PS3 and talking with my friends on Google+ to check the current state of the economy.

    They’re just going to have a record high number of people not filing their taxes, and I can’t tell if that’s the point?

    It’s okay guys, because of that bill we saved 0.00005% of federal spending and our tax breaks only increased the deficit by like 2,631.58% resulting in 50 Trillion USD debt by 2032. You’re welcome. /s
